Bible battle won sound of feet?

Probably the following battle is being referred to between the newly appointed King David and the Philistines. The sound refers to a sign which David was to wait for before he attacked. This was to indicate God's assistance in the battle, although military strategy and brute force were evidently involved as in any battle.

2 Samuel 5:22-25 (King James Version)

22And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

23And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

24And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.

25And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.
